The Tarrant resident said he’s promoted events at many of the major nightclubs in Birmingham, and he’s promoted and advertised Birmingham concerts featuring Brian McKnight, Migueland the O’Jays. He spreads the word through social media and email so much, that sometimes people think he’s the one bringing the acts to town.

Escott hasn’t always been this outgoing. He used to be so shy and into his books that he didn’t even go to his senior high school prom. But once he started attending UAB, he got involved in planning school events. He later ran for SGA president in 2001 and won.

After graduation, event planning became a keeper for him.

“If it were up to me, I’d do event planning for free because it’s that fun to me,” he said.

He took a break from his schedule to take this week’s Birmingham Exam.
